Sa-weeeeet! Way to go Grandma! 🫡 ⚡️👑⚡️

i also have one...oops I just told my age

I love Willie Nelson but really Elvis could not be best on that song just like all the other songs he sang from other people

@@user-wg5cg9yu2k Totally agree. I am a huge Willy and Waylon fan from back in the "Outlaw" days but you can't compare The KING's version to Willy's. It's unfair to Willy. 😂 ⚡️👑⚡️

A group called Lick the Tins did a cover of it that's pretty good.

I agree. Willie is the man, but Elvis owned "Always on my mind"

Yes it was. Luckily it was put on the A side. You may not have heard it if it wasn’t

Sinatra was a crooner with an ultra-smooth delivery, and the lyrics to My Way are more suited to Elvis's interpretation: a guy giving the finger to the world and living his life on his own terms.

@ballybunion9 that's true. Even though Paul Anka, the writer of the English version of this song, said he wrote it with Sinatra in mind. He said that he begged Elvis not to cut the song because it didn't suit him. I disagree with him. This is a sad song. Sinatra lived almost a perfect life. Elvis, on the other hand, was miserable by the end of his short life. And when he sang it live, he sang it with passion, as if it almost hurt him to sing it. In Sinatra's version, I don't get that passion and feelings as I get with Elvis.

Agreed 💯

I agree 100%

Thank YOU

Thank God 🙏 😁 I'm always happy to hear when people from other countries know about, and like Elvis, because he sadly never got the chance to tour other countries as he wanted to. If he had the chance, he would had been even more famous.

Willie has some emotion that emanates through the song but Elvis definitely ADDED the emotion with his physical mannerisms

I think when Elvis sings a song you can actually imagine it’s something he or the person listening to it has experienced ! I think Separate Ways is the same it’s as if he’s singing about his own situation. He has that unique way of pulling you in and making it personal…. I don’t think many singers can do that xx

AGREE COMPLETLY

Ditto.

Willie sucks

Not sure why, but I never was big on Willie Nelson. Seems like he talked/sang some of his songs if that makes sense.😊

@@bigfan2479 how can you consider talking singing I don't like him never have never will

Loved I’m Leavin’

The first 2 really show off his voice! Favorites of mine

No way. Elvis was the best at that

@@ElvisistheMan_ Can't agree with you there. Elvis had a different style to Willie which may not be to your taste but ultimately Elvis' version was an interpretation of the original song in his style Doesn't make it better just different. Just like many people think Elvis trashed Hound dog if you compare his version to mama Thorntons !

I think whenever Elvis covered a song, he made it his own. Adding more passion and feeling than the original in most instances.

@@ElvisistheMan_ yes, he always said if you cover another persons song you should do it better.

@@ElvisistheMan_ There's no doubt one version of Always on My Mind is sang while the other is almost spoken. Many people do not know the Elvis version is the problem.

He definitely owns every cover he does!

@@ElvisistheMan_ For sure...that's one of many reasons Elvis is the Man! 😉⚡️

Nu e doar părerea ta ,e un fapt, într-adevăr...ăsta a fost Elvis!Îmi place "o sole mio"dar cântat de Elvis, cu toate că a schimbate versurile, e super....și de neuitat ❤

I never said it wasn’t a well known hit.

Yes, yes and *YES!!!* 💯 🎯 🫡 👑 ✨️ *T⚡️C⚡️B* ✨️ 👑

Just so you know, Brenda Lee was the first person to sing this song

@@lindahamilton-uf7ys Really? I usually do a fact check and did think he was the original. Thanks for the info. I'll do some research. Brenda Lee is an amazing talent.

@@lindahamilton-uf7ys Also, found some info. that says a singer named Gwen McCrae released the song before Brenda Lee.🤔

​@@lindahamilton-uf7ys You're right about that. Brenda Lee and many other's recorded it and yes, she did it first. I was waiting on someone to say she did it first. Thank you

Here is some Info. that I found: Always On My Mind fun fact from: RamblinGamblinWillie // Article A common and popular mistake is to state that Elvis recording of Always On My Mind was a cover of an original Brenda Lee country hit. In fact, Always On My Mind was written for Elvis Presley by Mark James (Suspicious Minds) and it was recorded by Elvis in March 1972, before anyone else. It happens that RCA had already sheduled songs from '71 to be released as the first two singles during the first half of 1972, and then in the summer, it was Burning Love, from new batch of songs of the March session, the first one to came out, and so, Always On My Mind by Elvis, happened to be released until November '72, by then Brenda Lee, who recorded the song after Elvis, had released her version achieving a country hit with it but failing the Hot 100.

@KlippityKlop1 That makes two of us! For me Seperate Ways was emotionally and vocally superior. It hits in "the feels" harder for me. Seperate Ways is in the top 10 of my all time favorite ELVIS classics. 🥹🫡 👑 ✨️ *T⚡️C⚡️B* ✨️ 👑

Yes! Elvis definitely didn’t need to sample other artist when he had such a vast collection of songs! I also think it’s because it was not on an A side in the US when the UK it was. The song still did very well for him overtime and became a legendary song of his.

@@ElvisistheMan_ Absolutely. The Elvis version of "Always on my mind" is the one people go to. Willies version is too slow. It would had been just an average song had it not been for Elvis`s version. Elvis made it into a fantastic song. Willie Nelson is a fantastic artist who i admire a lot, but he didn`t do a good job with "Always on my mind"

Nonsense. Not a thing wrong with his Aloha song selections!

@@mikeivey7167 Why would he do a Beatles cover as his third song. The original version of "Something" is much better than Elvis`s version. I would rather want him to do "Always on my mind" or some of his older songs that he had never done live. He was doing a tv-special for the whole world, and not his regular Las Vegas act. He treated it like a Las Vegas show instead of a tv show. I think the song selection for his 68 comeback show was much better. He did his own material, and he played the songs people wanted to hear. "Something" "It`s over" and "What now my love" could and should have been left out of the set for his tv special. Elvis never played "Good luck charm" live even though it was an international no.1 hit. He stopped doing "In the ghetto" in 1970, and never sang any of the songs of his fantastic "From Elvis in Memphis" album. He could have done "Any day now" or "Wearing that loved on look". If he wanted to do songs like "Something" or "It`s over" he could have done it in Vegas. The people who produced his 1968 special had a lot of input in which songs Elvis should play. The people who produced the 1973 Aloha did not. That is why the 68 show is a classic, while the 73 concert was a regular Elvis concert. The 1973 show could have been much better had they treated it as a worldwide tv show instead of a Vegas concert. He should have played his own international greatest hits instead of cover songs. "The wonder of you" was the biggest selling hit in the UK in 1970 where it sold 1 million copies. It sold more in the UK alone then it did in the U.S. It was also a no.1 hit in many any foreign countries, and sold millions worldwide. It should have been played at his Aloha concert. I think the Aloha concert was a missed opportunity for Elvis. His song catalogue was second to the Beatles the greatest in history. He had so many great hits to choose from. I think he should have done "The wonder of you" "In the ghetto" "Good luck charm" "Return to sender" "Always on my mind" "Any day now" "If i can dream" "Crying in the chapel" "Surrender" "Don`t" "Are you lonesome tonight" "Love me tender" "She`s not you" "One broken heart for sale" and "It`s now or never" just to mention a few. They were all international big hits for Elvis, and would have suited a global audience like this. Elvis wasn`t performing for his usual home audience. He was performing for the world.

Cred că a fost sfătuit prost, în orice caz nu au prevazut impactul pe care îl va avea concertul din Hawaii, nu au crezut că va fi atât de mult urmărit...nu știu ce s-a întâmplat....Și eu cred că avea de unde să aleagă, din atâtea cântece...nu vom ști niciodată, dar dacă ar fi avut mai multe concerte afară, în afara USA, alta era situația, ar fi avut "experiență "!

Lol

@@ElvisistheMan_ Another one. If Elvis were a '56 Cadillac, Willie would be a Ford Pinto 😄😜😀

You want an explosion? Imagine Bat Out of Hell done by Elvis!

They would’ve had to agree to a lot less money because Parker would’ve wrote up a sweet contract for Elvis! Lol

@@ElvisistheMan_ Yes that was the problem with Parker. Money matters overruled creative decisions.

Yeah Elvis promoted T-R-O-U-B-L-E a lot in ‘75. It’s funny he started to get more traction on the country charts in his later years. But, a lot of his tracks were a little more country/rock

@@ElvisistheMan_ Absolutely… I think in only relatively recent years is there more recognition (still not nearly enough imo …) of how special Elvis was as a cross-over musician, in every phase of his career, and certainly including the 1970’s: who else was mixing it all up, basically conducting all the other musicians in the studio (as well as live on stage), self-producing his own records in terms of arrangements, tempo etc, and coming up with something fresh every time ? Some tracks and albums worked better than others, and us fans may like or dislike certain songs more or less, but if there’s one thing to be said about the 1970’s is that he was true to himself, to the chagrin at the time of the “serious pop music critics” and the rock and roll purists. The pop/rock music critics were supposedly from the new progressive generation of the 60’s, but in fundamental ways they were close-minded and musically/culturally unaware outside their own bubble. For instance not able to acknowledge that someone can go from belting out raw rock and roll and blues to a MOR gentle crooner style and breezy pop, to gospels, and more in between, and then still be the coolest cat in the room, a very much believable musician, with integrity.

I agree with you, I don’t really care for Willie Nelson’s whiny, shaky sounding voice. I think his voice is something that’s an acquired taste. Thanks for watching the video and thank you for your comment.

@@ElvisistheMan_ You're welcome David. Yrs ago my sister asked me to go with her to see Willie Nelson ( he was going to be performing 10 miles down the rd) I told her I would not drive to the end of my street to see Willie but had it been Elvis, I would crawl if needed.She knew I meant it too. ☺

lol

That good be. But, if you remember the song “It’s Midnight.” The lyrics are deep and one night in ‘74 he dedicated it her Priscilla. But, maybe in 72 it was still too raw?

One is from the mock recording session done for the filming of Elvis On Tour.

Way better!

Miles ahead on every level
